Biconditional elimination
Biconditional elimination allows one to infer a
conditional from a biconditional: if ( A ↔ B ) is true, then one may infer either direction of the biconditional, ( A → B ) and ( B → A ).For example, if it's true that I'm breathing
if and only if I'm alive, then it's true that if I'm breathing, I'm alive; likewise, it's true that if I'm alive, I'm breathing.Formally:
( A ↔ B )
∴ ( A → B )
also
( A ↔ B )
∴ ( B → A )
